Make Fun of Jesus?  

I am a Catholic and I do mind those kind of things. The problem with my religion is that very few people have the zeal and passion for God, unlike you muslims. You have great zeal and passion, and I envy that. I wish Catholics would show more love for God and our neighbors.

I think that any christian or catholic for that matter would feel bad about it. We would get hurt but we wouldn't take action against it because we werent taught on how to deal with these things. We don't have a doctrine that says "do THIS when THIS happens".

I´m an agnostic but I would not like a all the lack of respect for Jesus, least of all in a cartoon. I can´t imagine how that could pass. I believe in liberty of expression but always there have to be limits.
Take care!

The reason why this is possible is because in America we hold tightly to our most precious freedoms. The freedom of choice. The freedom of speech. Just to name a couple.

We are allowed to worship any religion we want. We are allowed to follow no religion at all if we so choose. We are allowed to speak our mind, and we dont have to be afraid of people coming to our houses at night and killing us just because we said something they dont agree with.

It may be disrespectful but really its the essence of a free society. Once we give in to fear and remain silent thats when our freedoms are destroyed.

Furthermore, it is my personal beliefe that God has a sense of humor. My favorite quote is this: "God, please forgive my million small jokes on Thee, and I shall forgive Thy great big joke on me."

I am a Christian, I respect and honour Jesus with all my heart, but it doesn't mean that I have to hate the ones who make fun of Jesus and protest only to make things worst. Even if they stop making fun due to protest or due to the law, it doesn't mean that they will respect Jesus in their heart. The heart is what that matters.

Jesus said, "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." John 15:18. Jesus did not say to fight those who make fun of Jesus but he said, " Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you".

It doesn't matter what the world may think of Him, but what matters is that the kingdom of Jesus is not of this world and He gives peace and happiness to His believers even if the whole world rejects Him.

But for those who make fun of Jesus be careful and think twice because one day Jesus will judge the world and all knees shall bow down before him and all tongues shall confess their deeds. This is what the Bible says and I believe it with my life.

God can take care of himself. He doesn't need us to protect him. Believe me if he doesn't like what those people are doing they're definitely going to know about it in the end. Who knows? Maybe it doesn't actually bother him because he has better things to deal with and worrying about that kind of stuff only gives power to the ones who doing the insults.

Really I think that all religion originated in the world with certain faith and believes, so many believers can be seen in each and every religion. we have right to believe or not to believe in any religion or religious faith. Christian religion is biggest religion in the world. some may be believes in Jesus some may not. I believe in Jesus. I am christian.

where did you watch that show? well for me if it aired here in the Philippines many will surely react and will banned that show because it is very insulting to the part of Christian, Philippines is a Christian nation and we will never tolerate that thing

All unbelievers and even those who profess with their mouth to be Christians make fun of Jesus, His deity, His virgin birth, and such like. During His day, He was even slapped in the face, spit upon, kicked, bruised, crowned with thorns, and eventually killed Him. There is no difference today. The good thing about my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ is that He rose from the dead to show us that He has power over death, unlike those other religious founders who died but never rose from the dead. They may make fun of my Savior, but their acts will judge them in the judgment day.

There is a line between fun and hurting sentiments. If it meant to be fun and then its doesnt matter. But if the intention to seriously hurt sentiments, the fun element will be artificial and then it bound to have serious repercussions. But most of the incident happened earlier are the cases of over reaction. Be it Mohammed prophet's potrayal or Ganesh on Chappals or Jesus shown as drinking.

as human we have the freewill to do and say what we want to do. it is how you ac as a person. making fun of religious things are not good, and not right. because it is disrespectful to our God. no matter what our beliefs is, we still believe in God just different names. those who are making fun of Jesus is not acting the christian way, to me they have confused mind and have something problem in them. it is their choice to do that, so i do not care for as long as i do respect and do not use the name of God/Jesus in vain. have a nice day!
